Sequestration):
Mission: Move carbon dioxide (the gray
balls) to the underground reservoir.
For each carbon dioxide to score, it must be
touching the reservoir model and/or the mat
within the model, but it must not be
touching the mat outside the model. Scoring

model. The scoring machine is worth 20
points. The drill assembly raised completely

snowmobile to the research area.
To score, they must be making direct

not be touching the mat outside that model.
The scoring bear is worth 15 points upright,
or 10 points "sleeping" (on its side), and the
scoring snowmobile is worth 10 points.
Beat the Clock:
Mission: At the end of the match, if the
robot is making direct contact with the
research area model and/or the mat within
that model, but it's not touching the mat
outside that model, that's worth 15 points.
At the end of the match, the robot touching
only the yellow grid area is worth 10 points.
NOTE: Levee blocks are this year's touch
penalty objects.
When an active robot is touched while it's
completely out of Base, the referee will take
one levee block off the field, out of play,
starting with those that are in Base. If there
are none in Base, the one currently farthest
west in the field will be taken. If the only
levee blocks available are being moved by
the robot at the time of the touch, one of
those will be taken after the robot is carried
back to Base. If all 8 levee blocks have been
taken already, there is no loss.
